Brush Bristles … “I dream of painting…”

Deep Woods by Emily Carr, 1936

“Last night I dreamed that I came face to face with a picture I had done and forgotten, a forest done in simple movement, just forms of trees moving in space. That is the third time I have seen pictures in my dreams, a glint of what I am striving to attain.” – Emily Carr

“If I sit and daydream, the images rush by like a succession of colored slides.” – Francis Bacon

“Looking at the stars always makes me dream.” said Vincent van Gogh and famously “I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.”

Perhaps our creativity is something that is never truly dormant and inspiration can arrive at any time of the day…or night!

Break-a-Brush!
